About 5 or so years ago I asked around about a blu-ray player that could handle region 1 and region 2 discs. The answer I got most often was that there not many and what existed was not reliable. So, I am looking again. Best Buy seems to have a lot of models available. Anyone have any experience with this kind of player? Are they improved at this point? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I've got a Blu Ray player that has been reconfigured so that you can switch regions with the buttons on the remote. Believe it or not though, I haven't really had an opportunity to use it for Blu Ray as all the films I've wanted were on DVD.

I got one (Sony) and it is a configurated US model, which plays now US discs and most European ones, but at times - mostly DVDs - it refuses to play them (it's rather rare, but it happens). But I got also a European blur ray player - more or less same model, the remote control works for both, and I just switch the model. Since blu ray player are not that expensive, and you got one with your Play Station etc. pp., I would just buy a player from the region you need.

Unless I'm mistaken...
DVDs have region numbers.
Blu-rays have region letters.
A Region 1 DVD is "locked" for North American players.
A Region A Blu-ray is similarly playable only in North American players.
